Austin's Funnies Corner

    A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist.

    Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday, their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room, he loaded with horse manure.

    That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.

    "Why are you crying?" the father asked.

    "Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read the all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the pessimistic twin.

    Passing the optimistic twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked.

    To which his optimistic twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

I think this video is wonderful, and very inspiring. I mean, to see the transformation...wouldn't it be nice to have a home like theirs? As they say in the video, there's always something you can do. Making your home a happy, beautiful, and holy place, isn't a huge undertaking of incredible change. It's through the small and simple things. :)
